At about the 2:43 mark LINK

He kicks his leg out at Garnett. He does this all the time, and I've seen it called only once (I think in the Pacers series).

Garnett's foul came first and caused the leg to come out even more.

People never complain about Blake Griffin's dunks because he posterizes people, but in almost every one of them he shields the defender with his off-hand.

Stars get star calls, deal with it

The difference is that Griffin is already five feet above the rim. Wade just hurls himself at the defender to get the call.

Where the hell else are his feet going to go? Have you ever played basketball? When you are in the air and get pushed back like that, your feet are going to come out from under you. Now, he did lead with his knee when he went up, and had Garnett stayed down and taken that knee I would concede the point.

No he definitely kicked his leg out trying to get separation without any help, but you're right that Garnett's foul came before. It was the right call.

I've probably played more basketball than you. Have you? Anytime you go up for a layup, you lead with your knee. You don't kick your leg out. Of course your leg will go forward if you are falling backwards, but you don't kick it out like that. Garnett did have a hand on his body that I guess the referee called the foul on. But he does this all the time. LINK

I guess you can't blame him if he never gets called for it.

People complaining about this are either really stupid or really pissed the Heat won and grasping at straws.
KG obviously fouled him before Wade touched KG, also Wade is in the air going to the rim and KG is up there defending him, not taking a charge. Wade didn't kick him at all, what he's supposed to fall straight down after KG pushes his arms back?

Complain about the Rondo no call if you wanna complain, bc there is nothing to complain about on this one

That second video you posted is also not an offensive foul, just because his leg is up doesn't mean he is kicking somebody. It probably should have been a no call, but every superstar gets those calls
